While the Shadow has initiative, Aragorn is defender +1, and strength +2 for each wound on each minion he is skirmishing.
I think you can get rid of the comma after defender +1. He’s...interesting. I want to say he’s underpowered, that he should have some ability when the Shadow does NOT have initiative, but I can’t think of what that would be. I think he’s okay.

Yes, the return of banners! Good show.
Maybe, just maybe, since this limits the winning ability to when the Shadow has initiative, it should come with a strength +1. |

| The comma is needed, I think, because otherwise it could be read as only making him defender +1 for each wound on each minion he is skirmishing, which would be pointless. |

the defender part is rather useless, as he will have been already assigned. Damage +1 would be cooler.

fine by me. most banners don’t have strength bonuses though. |

I originally had a comma after ’defender +1’, but I dropped it after Dain’s review. I’ll add it back now to avoid confusion.

Yep, but this is a Standard, not a Banner. 
Thanks for the reviews, guys! The  culture is up next.

Heh, no problem Dain. By the way, I noticed you were thinking Aragorn might not be good enough. Just look back at Roheryn on the previous page and check out that sweet combo.  |

I like him. He does seem underpowered, but considering some of the other cards you’ve made, I think he’s perfect.

Thanks for the review, MoS.
Here’s the last site:
 Wilds of Ithilien [Site]
Forest. Skirmish: Exert your Man and discard 2 cards from hand to make that Man strength +2. |

Great with the established Shadow-initiative strategy. No complaints!  |
